#614 – Events that Fire When You Switch Between Windows

July 31, 2012 2 Comments

If your application has multiple windows, the user can switch between the different windows.  The sequence of events when switching from one window (1) to another (2) is as follows:

  • Window.Deactivated  (#1)
  • Window.Activated  (#2)
  • Window.PreviewLostKeyboardFocus  (#1)
  • Window.PreviewGotKeyboardFocus  (#2)
  • Window.IsKeyboardFocusWithinChanged  (#1)
  • Window.IsKeyboardFocusWithinChanged  (#2)
  • Window.IsKeyboardFocusChanged  (#1)
  • Window.IsKeyboardFocusChanged  (#2)
  • Window.LostKeyboardFocus  (#1)
  • Window.GotKeyboardFocus  (#2)
  • Window.Deactivated  (#2)
